| Material Removal Rates |
 |
| Although the material removal rate of competitor 2 cloth followed the same general trend as TexMet® 2500 and the new TexMet® – a sharp initial increase followed by a gradual decline – there was significantly more variance in the data. The same appeared to be true of Competitor 1’s cloth. Competitor 2’s cloth was the most aggressive of all the cloths in initial and intermediate material removal |
